An aged sheep's milk cheese with an intense flavor, passed down through the years by curious legends.
The Vero Formaggio Scoparolo® owes its name to an ancient and unusual local tradition. Many years ago, in farmers' homes, cheeses were ripened in cooler areas, such as the storerooms where tools and whisk brooms were kept. Here farmers would let the cheeses rest on wooden shelves and carefully brush, turn and oil them. When the farmer would ask the boy to fetch the cheese, he would call him the 'Scoparolo' precisely because he was standing among the brooms*. Today, the Vero Formaggio Scoparolo® is a mature sheep's milk cheese with an unmistakable, rich and intense flavour. It is the result of scrupulous craftsmanship, fully expressing the tradition of Romagna. *broom is translated as scopa in Italian.
